 Posted: Fri Jun 14, 2013 12:00 pm Post subject: (solved) Help a noob with wifi/wpa_supplicant (please)? |
 |
|
#Disclaimer: ok I have read the documentation and I have been googling for the better part of a week for a solution, haven't found anything that worked. I'm currently going through setting up gentoo partly as a learning experience but eventually I want to make the switch over permanently from debian as I've fallen in love with portage.
Hope I've put this in the correct subforum, if not please pardon my ignorance.
Ok, as I say I'm a Gentoo noob, got it installed first time, eventually got wired internet working (tracked that down to a typo  ), got a static ip setup working, now I finally need help.
OK relevant info:
| Code: | | 07:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) |
/etc/conf.d/net: (edited for privacy)
| Code: | dns_domain_lo="(my ssid)"
config_eth0=( "192.168.0.9 netmask 255.255.255.0" )
routes_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.0.1" )
config_wlan0=( "192.168.0.9 netmask 255.255.255.0" )
routes_wlan0=( "default gw 192.168.0.1" )
dns_servers_eth0=( "208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220" )
dns_servers_wlan0=( "208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220" )
#wpa_supplicant
modules_wlan0=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
|
/etc/wpa_supplicant/spa_suppliacnt.conf (edited out ssid and passkey)
| Code: | #allow users in the wheel group to control wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
#allow user made changes to be saved (e.g add networks)
update_config=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="(my ssid)"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA2
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="(my pass)"
priority=5
}
|
I've also got the wpa_gui under kde which doesn't pick up the adaptor at all and won't let me add networks.
use flags in /etc/portage/make.conf:
| Code: | | USE="readline ssl dbus consolekit alsa dvd qt4 kde firefox vlc yakuake -gnome gtk" |
The drivers are built into the kernel, that part should be fine as I based the config on my working debian custom kernel on my other laptop with the relevant hardware change (ath9k rather than ath5k)
Hope somebody can help and many thanks in advance.

| Code: | | wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext" |
You have configured wpa_supplicant to use the legacy wireless extensions which are not supported by modern drivers. These use -Dnl80211 instead of -Dwext.
There exists wext emulation for backwards compatibility (e.g. wicd needs this), which is controlled by CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT. |

Danke schön.
I've changed that in config and I'll have to recompile the kernel then. Does everything else look ok? |

ok that got me along a step. now | Code: | | wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -Dnl80211 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf |
gives me an output and doesn't exit with an error.
However, | Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start |
gives me | Code: | *bringing up interface wlan0
* starting wpa_supplicant on wlan 0 ...
* starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ...
Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start '/usr/bin/wpa_cli'
*ERROR: net.wlan0 failed to start |

| The space in "wlan 0" is strange, it should not be there. Maybe check your configuration where this might come from. |

suggest change /etc/conf.d/net: | Quote: | config_eth0="192.168.0.9 netmask 255.255.255.0"
routes_eth0="default gw 192.168.0.1"
config_wlan0="192.168.0.9 netmask 255.255.255.0"
routes_wlan0="default gw 192.168.0.1"
dns_servers="208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220"
#wpa_supplicant
modules_wlan0="wpa_supplicant"
#wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dnl80211" |
the ( "xxxx" ) format was deprecated, replaced, stopped working, a couple of years ago a couple. surprised it works again. dns_domain_lo causes an overwrite of /etc/resolv.conf and fails to do anything useful unless you host a dns server for the specified domain on your lan. specifying the same ip for two interfaces which can be active at the same time can cause problems. using different ip's or ifplugd or bonding ( http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?style=printable&full=1#book_part4_chap3 ) are possible solutions.
have you installed firmware? suggest | Code: | | emerge linux-firmware |
should show the names of all interfaces that the kernel can see, the kernel names may get changed by udev
should show the names of all interfaces that have drivers and firmware and that have been brought up
have you emerged wireless-tools or iw ? use or | Code: | | iw dev wlan0 (or the name found by ifconfig) scan |
to look at your access point parameters and match them in wpa_supplicant.conf nertwork
recommend /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf global lines be: | Quote: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
update_config=1 |
last week the lines you use from the examples failed for me.
no need to recompile kernel to remove wext support. it is harmless.

ok, I've edited /etc/conf.d/net and ettc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf like you posted and yes I do have linux-firmware and iw

sit0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning. |
that sll suggests to me that it is now working but I'm not connecting to my router (Cell 02 in the scan), is that right?
Sorry for widening the page  |

note that wlan0 did not receive an ip
try
| Code: | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
ifconfig |
does wlan0 now have an ip?
no? use the wpa_supplicant gui to scan and configure your network
no luck? | Code: | dmesg | grep -i ath9k
dmesg | grep -i wlan0 |
anything interesting?

if | Code: | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
ifconfig |
did it consider emerging ifplugd or netplug, control goes to eth0 when plugged in, wlan0 when not

Sorry, 'did it' was an excessively colloquial way of saying 'solved the problem." It took me several minutes to decipher my meaning when I saw your question.
if stopping etho and restarting wlan0 solved the problem, I suggest you consider emerging ifplugd or netplug. Either program will shift control to eth0 when it is plugged in and shift control to wlan0 when eth0 is unplugged.

Ah, my bad. I'm a bit of a punctuation nazi (both of my parents were English teachers, it's ingrained and automatic), so I just read it as "did it consider..." and I thought you were going over my head.
In answer to your questions though it did and I did emerge ifplugd. It's working like a charm now.
Thanks again for the help. Now I just need to get synaptics working and I'm more or less set  . |

I tried to check but I'm getting this error from menuconfig(I've tried as user and as root):
| Code: | scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o: file not recognized: File truncated
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/mconf] Error 1
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2 |
I've no idea where that came from. I've tried re-emerging ncurses,gcc and make to no avail. |

Probably, you are either running out of disk space or inodes, or ccache has crashed in a bad situation. To solve the latter, execute first | Code: | | export CCACHE_RECACHE=1 |

Does Gentoo store all the source for emerged programs? I've got a 160g hdd, / has 10g and only 2g is currently free. I didn't check until I read your post. swap is a 4g partition and the rest of the disk is /home which is empty. Each is a primary partition. All I have installed apart from what would othewise be a clean install is kdebase-startkde, firefox, thunar and vlc. I have the kernel source (3.8.13) is in /usr/src.
gcc.4.6.3
I get "export: command not found".
I may just reinstall from scratch since there's nothing important on the disk. I'm really just doing a dry-run with an irrelevant disk before I wipe Debian from my ssd. |

If you have nothing on different partitions, 10G is very few for a Gentoo system - you will almost certainly want to increase it sooner or later.
However, if 2G is free this should not be related with the current error (unless you are running out of inodes).

The tarballs with the sources are kept until you remove them manually (in $DISTDIR, by default probably /usr/portage/distfiles).

Every POSIX shell should understand "export". Are you using a non-POSIX shell like tcsh with root? |

bash.
The only thing I can think of that might have caused this is I ran:
| Code: | | sudo emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y @world |

Then the export command should work.
Anyway, just to be sure, did you already try the obvious, i.e. remove the offending file /usr/src/linux/scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o (or wherever you have you KBUILD_OUTPUT set to)? |

 that isn't so obvious to me. This is my first go at a (comparatively) non-hand-holding distro.
p.s. That worked! Sorry guys this is genuinely a little over my head but I prefer to learn by tinkering and making tols of nistakes'. I would have assumed deleting such files would have messed everything up completely.
EDIT: menuconfig works with make and with genkernel, I am getting: | Code: | ERROR: Failed to compile the "prepare" target...
